Just been out in the dinghy to Henley Waitrose for the beer and some food. Lovely day and some nice boats turning up in anticipation of the trad rally. I'm a big fan of Chris craft vessels. Ok so they are a bit "muscle car" American in style but this is what I think a wooden motorcruiser should look like. Job done. ETA the broads cruiser behind it is quite a honey too. I would never want a wooden boat but it's still nice seeing them kept so well.

Perfect morning for a kayak. Not a breath of wind with a bit of mist obscuring the sun, preventing excessive sweating and sunburn. Distinct lack of (sea) bass at the moment and there have been no (sea) mackerel inshore at all this year. What's this, global warming? Anyway it was a nice paddle to Friog Corner and back, also had a bit of fun surfing some small breakers in the estuary mouth on the way back.

Moored on my own, quiet spot on the Ashby. Ali has popped home for a couple of days. Left me all alone with plenty of booze, sausages, cheese and our rather loud hi fi. It’s a lovely day and I intend to enjoy every second of it.

That sounds like my mind of social distancing except for the loud music.

Fair enough. The loudest music I can generate is from the speaker at the end if my Xiaomi cheap as chips mobile phone.
I did do a black Sabbath concert many years ago around 1992 but the only interesting thing I experienced was head lice.
Much prefer to listen to the sounds generated naturally.

Which reminds me I must go out on the River dinghy again and look at the scenery from a socially distant viewpoint.
